A witness to the horrific attack on New Year's Eve revelers in the early hours on New Orleans' Bourbon St. told an admittedly "speechless" Pamela Brown on CNN he and others were prevented from helping victims by police.

The attack by a man in an F-150 truck, who police say intentionally drove into the crowd leaving at least ten dead and three dozen injured, is currently being investigated by the FBI as a possible act of terrorism.

Speaking with CNN's Brown, Jimmy Cothran said he was acting as a designated driver for the crowd he was with when women ran into the bar they were in shouting about the attack and claiming the driver was driving 60 miles an hour as he went through the barricades.

Cothran then described the carnage he witnessed, including bodies being thrown into the air, as the stunned CNN host blurted " I'm speechless."

According to Cothran, he attempted to help victims sprawled on the ground but was blocked by police and had to watch as no one showed up immediately.

"I mean, just the disfigurement and the bodies strewn –– something you can't unsee, you'll never forget," he told the host. "Directly at our feet was definitely a mother, twisted up, obviously deceased"

"We counted around eight bodies very quickly, right in our area," he continued. "One gentleman crushed, had tire tracks across his back, once they rolled him over, he had tire tracks on his front –– he was completely crushed. Another girl, young, small girl, was dancing when we were coming up the street, and she was just completely flat in the middle, dead center."

"Another woman just brutally run over, but still agonizing,"he added. "I'm certified in CPR and first responder training and they wouldn't let us help, they locked us all inside, which is understandable, but nobody else was helping, so that was even tougher."

"But just the fact that these people are somebody's people, and they're not going to be there this morning, it's rough," he stated.

Donald Trump's current flip-flopping on issues after making promises on the campaign trail could blow up in his face with his supporters not long after he takes the oath of office.

That is the opinion of an analyst for the New Republic who asserted that both the president-elect and his MAGA are all headed for a political brick wall once he tries to govern after assuming office.

According to one Republican Party lawmaker who is stepping down after four terms as governor, his party will not always be under the sway of Donald Trump and there have already been cracks in the relationship.

With the president-elect retaking control of the reins of power on Jan. 20, he will enter office as lame duck who can't run in 2028, which could pave the way for incoming Vice President J.D. Vance, but he likely won't be handed the nomination.

That is according to outgoing Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) who has wavered in his defense of Trump, at one time being the biggest backer of ex- South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's run for the nomination.

Speaking with Politico, Sununu claimed the GOP, despite popular opinion is still a "big tent" party that welcomes all and then stated, “Trump is extremely unique. There’s no ‘Trump lite’ or ‘Trump 2.0’ that can replace or replicate what he’s brought to the table, for better or for worse."

Asked about Trump's hold on the party, he pointed to the failed nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be attorney general that quickly crashed and burned after a substantial number of Republican senators made it clear they would not vote for him.

"Did [former Rep.] Matt Gaetz just get pushed right out of his nomination to be the U.S. attorney general? Yes. Look, it’s never easy criticizing the president and the standard bearer of your party, and there’s always that kind of political honeymoon period that happens when you first get elected," he stated. "But there are already signs of folks that are willing to push back and criticize and say no when they feel like they have to say no. And that should give the American people a big sigh of relief that it’s not the evil dictatorship that the liberal media was telling us it was going to be."

Editor's note: This article has been updated to confirm that the attack was "intentional" and left 30 people injured. It has also been updated to confirm that the suspect is dead.

A mass casualty incident occurred in New Orleans' French Quarter in the early morning hours of New Year's Day, according to several reports, in what was an "intentional" attack, Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick said during a Wednesday morning press conference.

Jan. 1 will mark the start of a new generation of babies: Gen Beta.

The start of the new year will mark the end of Generation Alpha, which are generally said to have been born in the early 2010s, and the beginning of a new generation, according to media reports. Anybody born from 2025 through 2039 will belong to the Beta generation, USA Today reported.

Justin Baldoni has reportedly filed a lawsuit alleging libel against The New York Times over its bombshell reporting on accusations of sexual harassment against him by Hollywood co-star Blake Lively.

Baldoni’s lawsuit accused the newspaper of relying "almost entirely on Lively’s unverified and self-serving narrative, lifting it nearly verbatim while disregarding an abundance of evidence that contradicted her claims and exposed her true motives."

Capitol Hill’s unguarded moments will once again be captured by C-SPAN cameras when they return to the House chamber for Friday’s speaker vote and beyond.

The move comes as lawmakers are set to elect a speaker and certify Donald Trump’s presidential election victory when Congress reconvenes, Axios reported Tuesday.

This Friday, January 3 in the United States, a new Congress will be seated — and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) is hoping that he will remain in that position.

President-elect Donald Trump gave Johnson his "complete and total endorsement" on December 30. But according to reporting from Axios' Andrew Solender and The Hill's Emily Brooks, Johnson may not have the votes needed for confirmation.

Pressed by reporters ahead of New Year's Eve celebrations on why he apparently reversed his position on the H1-B visa program, President-elect Donald Trump denied doing any such thing.

"I didn’t change my mind," said Trump. "I always felt we have to have the most competent people in our country. We need competent people. We need smart people coming into our country. We need a lot of people coming in."

A Colorado Republican has apologized after posting on social media that he was celebrating former President Jimmy Carter's death by popping open a bottle of champagne.

Jimmy Carter died Sunday at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he was surrounded by family. He faced several health challenges in recent years, including melanoma that metastasized to his liver and brain.

Donald Trump’s recent legal filing to the Supreme Court regarding a possible ban on the popular TikTok app was largely met with ridicule and bewilderment by legal experts, who doubted the incoming president’s legal basis for his request.

With the court poised to rule on the ban, an attorney for the president-elect submitted a brief on Friday asking the high court to suspend the law’s Jan. 19 deadline until Trump is sworn in so he can attempt to negotiate a compromise.

Far-right MAGA activist and failed Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer has spent much of the last week attacking tech billionaire Elon Musk. Now, she has set her sights on another billionaire who helped finance President-elect Donald Trump's election.

Loomer took aim at Marc Andreesen after Vice President-elect J.D. Vance backed him up in his accusation that historian Rick Perlstein, who claimed he had expressed gratitude that rural Americans were being pacified with "video games and OxyContin," was a "communist."
